land; Gen. JohnA. j. Creswell, Grants post
master general, who is the treasurer OF the
local Logan fund; Walker Blaine, who cam Q

heaviest black, her features wholly covered
by thick mourning, resting heavily
upon the arm OF her son, greatly affect

the generals youngest brother who
needed no introduction to the audi

the dead hero. Mrs. Logan took seat in
front OF the vice Presidents desk, and

on either side OF her. Next sat Mrs
Tucker, also in deepest mourning. Be-
side her was her husband, Mai. Tucker,
and next in deep black, but unveiled,
was Miss Andrews, the tiancee OF Man
ming Logan, and beside her, and
resting awestruck upon her the
little grandson, Logan Tucker. From the
outset Mrs. Logan was deeply affected, al
though evidently under the greatest self
control, but when the eloquent passages
OF Parson- Newman's IS sermon were delivered
in which the qualities OF the dead were
30 graphically eulogized, she could scarce
restrain her emotion. At one minute past
Bassett, and Deputy Sergeant-at- Arms
Christie appeared at the southern door,

long mourning draperies, to announce the

the rotunda. The procession entered,
